Chapter 248: Water can carry boats and cook porridge
Cai Cong saw Li Shimin's face showing joy, and immediately knelt on the ground and congratulated loudly.
The eldest grandson called out softly to His Majesty, Li Shimin nodded to her, and the eldest grandson immediately bowed down happily on the ground to congratulate Li Shimin. Yan Dong also hurriedly knelt on the ground and congratulated loudly, passing on the jade seal of the country! After the Three Kingdoms, it disappeared, but I didn't expect it to appear here.
"Guanyin, get up quickly, you guys should get up too!" Li Shimin happily stepped forward to help his eldest grandson, he was so happy today, not only did the enemy kneel in front of him, but even the missing jade seal of the country was in his hands.
Since Qin carved the jade seal of the country, this thing is the token of the orthodox emperors of all dynasties, without this jade seal, you are embarrassed to tell people that you are the emperor, Shi Le is even more shameless to engrave the four words of the Mandate of Heaven on it.
Touching the traces left by the founding emperor on the jade seal, Li Shimin was eager to try to leave some traces on it, and finally he held back, he needed to cover it so much, he firmly believed that he was destined to return, and he didn't need to engrave anything.
After carefully putting away the jade seal, he said to Cai Cong: "Since you are here, then talk about it." I don't want to ask you where you have been in the past six months, now you will answer me first, what kind of petty tricks are you playing with Li Jing, the army has no food, do you want to see them rebel? ”
"The minister is not such a trivial person, he just wants to scare him, the caravan that came back in January told the household department that the grain and grass in March will be transported by the household department, I just don't tell Li Jing, let him be anxious."
"What you said is light, Li Jing was so frightened by you that he hurried for eight hundred miles, and scavenged a lot of food from the surroundings, and almost forced those small countries to rebel, do you know how serious this is?"
"No matter how serious it is, it is a sin created by him Li Jing himself, if he hadn't killed my cousin, could I have done this to him?"
Cai Cong shrunk his neck and whispered, Li Shimin slapped the table and scolded angrily: "It's normal to kill someone in order to calm the army's heart, but that person happens to be your cousin, you actually dare to tease Li Jing because of this, I can't clean you up today, Guanyin borrowed your rattan." ”
"How did Your Majesty know that the concubines had rattan?" The eldest grandson, who was still interested in watching them talk, stiffened his face and glared at Cai Cong.
"Last time, I happened to see you beating someone, it was this kid, by the way, the prince also saw it." Li Shimin's hair was numb, and he said boldly, and he was happy to say that he couldn't go to bed for a while, and he didn't know how long it would take for him to go to bed.
The eldest grandson's face was black, so dark, she covered her face and drove Li Shimin and the others out, and closed the door with a bang.
A gust of wind blew, and Cai Cong asked with a sob: "Your Majesty, is this a trouble?" ”
"I beat you to death, you still know how to owe it." Li Shimin finally came back to his senses, raised his sword finger and broke a branch from a tree on the side, and the two ran all the way and chased all the way and finally left the Lizheng Palace.
Cai Cong leaned on the railing and gasped and asked, "Your Majesty, you obviously feel embarrassed, why do you want to cooperate with you?" ”
Li Shimin squinted at Cai Cong as usual, and said disdainfully: "Boy, learn more, tomorrow Wei Zheng should impeach you and me for losing the courtesy of the monarch and minister, and I won't think about the queen driving me out." ”
Cai Cong was very upset, you have to do a lot of things to get rid of your wife, is it necessary to chase me for more than a dozen streets? But he'd be gasping for air, and he's not in the mood to speak.
"Okay, now it's time to get down to business, when I set out on the expedition, I said that you have a share of the credit for the new army, and the grain team will not be yours, and I plan to give your cousin the title of righteous merchant. You won Jieli and found the jade seal of the country, this is a great credit, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you will be promoted to the Duke of Jin.
But this time, I also found a big problem! Look at how childish you are, as a prince with your own petty temperament, you almost caused panic in the army, and the impeachment of you by the governors of all walks of life can stone you to death. That's why this time I've decided to let you compensate for your merits and demerits, and not punish or reward.
And the soldiers you brought out, one by one, they hold their own skills and don't take others in their eyes at all, and they dare to pat the board and call the commanders of the three armies in battle, and they also call the armies of all walks of life waste, this is the good soldiers you brought out? I have already decided to let Xu Jingzong temporarily take over the position of commander of the new army, and you can give me a good reflection on whether I am at fault. Do you have any objection to my decision? ”
"How dare the minister have objections, the minister is too temperamental, this is an old problem, sometimes he can't restrain himself. As for the fault of the new army, the minister also found out, otherwise Meng Baolai would not have been able to get off the ground after being beaten by Li Jing for half a month, and the minister would have already had a fight with Li Jing, how could it be that nothing happened! ”
"Hmph, are you still proud of what I said?" Li Shimin patted Cai Cong's head and said, "But you also did a little bit well this time, Sui Yang...... Yang Guang is my cousin after all, and his merits and demerits should be commented on by future generations. As for his merits, the people can talk about it in the future, as long as it is not malicious and insulting, let them go! ”
Li Shimin said with emotion on his face, the intelligence and martial arts of the two fathers and sons of the Yang family have always been Li Shimin's jealousy, especially Yang Guang said that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is blue, if it is not for great joy, it is also possible for his merits to chase after the ancestral dragon. And the court system set by the father and son of the Yang family, Li Yuan and his son tried to change it many times, but they couldn't start, and in the end they could only move over and use it. The system of three provinces and six ministries was still in use until the Qing Dynasty, so the Li family could only find black spots on Yang Guang, and not smear the Sui Dynasty from other aspects.
Cai Cong sneered in his heart, Lao Tzu praised Yang Guang's father and son's words? It is clearly Lao Tzu's sentence that the Li family has a great treasure, which is the destiny of heaven, and it is in line with your heart.
"The minister just wants to return the truth of history, the father and son of the Yang family are indeed geniuses, and it may not be impossible for the former Sui to create an unprecedented prosperous era if he was not reckless. It's a pity that no, the Yang family finally turned their backs on their duties as the emperor's family. The minister thought that in addition to being the son of God, the more important thing was the contract with the people, and the people respected him as the supreme, and the emperor must make the country and the people safe. The minister thinks that this is the relationship between the monarch and the people, if the Son of Heaven has a way, all the people will love him, and if the Son of Heaven loses his morality, then the people will carry it. This is the advice of the minister, and I hope that His Majesty will accept it. ”
Cai Cong said that he bowed to Li Shimin, Li Shimin was moved, and hurriedly helped him up and said: "What the Qing family said made me pause, the so-called water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, I am the boat, and the people are water, I should always keep this in mind!" ”
"Your Majesty."
Cai Cong bowed down and said, Li Shimin asked him to get up, the two talked and discussed a lot, and they would quarrel when they had different views. Cai Cong will fight with reason at this time and will not back down a single step.
Li Lao Er just warned him, he has to add more fire to let Li Lao Er know that he is a direct minister like a stunned person, so he should be scared! Don't do anything to yourself.
